Long Live DIY

meshplate · 12th February 2009, 02:16 PM

Hello to everyone at DIYAUDIO.

I've been building speakers for a while and more recently extended this to include tube amplifiers. There is a great pleasure to be had from designing and making something oneself, and if the final product sounds good and looks good then it encourages others to have a go too. I have five nephews and the eldest two are just starting to show an interest, which is great.

If I express a view on something then hopefully it will be as a result of hands-on experience with a particular build or as a result of extensive blind listening. I live in Wiltshire in the UK and I'm more than happy for anyone passing by to drop in for a beer or a coffee and a chat about DIY audio.

My other passion is backpacking and camping wild; especially in the winter when the mountains are quiet. If I'm travelling solo then I get lots of time to ponder my next DIY project

I'm nearing the end of my current speaker project, so I'll post some details and pictures soon.

Ciao,
Steve

Hi Steve - and Welcome to diyAudio!

I lived in Ipswich as a kid and still like a good plate of bangers and mash (and a pint).

GSTQ!!
